Strung out over 300 miles and visible from space, a Chinese fishing fleet circles menacingly around Charles Darwin’s ecological paradise.

The 325-strong flotilla, with vessels as big as a football pitch, has descended on the oceans around the Galapagos Islands – where the rich biodiversity offers unique insights into our planet.

Scientists fear the fleet puts endangered species at risk both by plundering the oceans and from the 25,000 plastic bottles thrown overboard every day.

They say the boats, each dangling millions of hooks, are targeting sharks that end up in expensive fin soup in markets across China and Hong Kong.
